Curious Pursuit
About This Novel
This book collects Margaret Atwood's essays from 1970 to the beginning of the 21st century, including book reviews, literary reviews, creative talks, obituaries, etc. This collection of essays is more like an informal autobiography, showing readers a life full of curiosity. She is a witty critic who offers unique insights into the works of Updike, Angela Carter and others; she is also a cool skeptic who reserves her own views on "female bad behavior" in Canadian history and novels. Her life is as exciting as her narrative: a haunted farm, a misogynistic interview host, an arctic adventure with food poisoning, and literary festivals around the world, leaving readers dizzying. Naturally, there are also reviews of the creation of some classic works, such as "The Handmaid's Tale", "Alias Grace", "Oryx and Crake" and so on. Atwood uses his rich and varied perspective to lead readers on a literary journey, and also goes deep into the reverse flow of time, looking back at some landmark events in the twentieth century and witnessing our journey to the twenty-first century.
